buy a new house.

It was low. Low, low, low. And they wanted me to pay 3% of the closing costs. But they are first-time home buyers and I was told to expect that kind of thing in an offer. I counter-offered but now I’m regretting it. I think I need more money out of my house. I kind of want them to say no to my counter-offer. I think this current market it just strange and I don’t want to pass up anything…but…

Yikes!

well, it will be on Tuesday. The realtor is coming out to take pictures. It is a very scary time and I keep second-guessing myself. I hope I’m making the right decision. I’m going to miss my little house.

I never thought of myself as the condo type. I don’t know why. There’s nothing wrong with condos. But I just thought I’d have a house and yard and, well, the whole nine yards. But I’ve had a house and I’m tired of making sure that my grass is cut and keeping my deck water-sealed and all of that.

Today I went to look at condos in one of those secured communities. The condo itself was bigger than my current house. It had a whirlpool tub and BIG closets. It has really sparked an interest for me and now I’m seriously considering it.

It is funny to read other people’s comments about houses and condos. Everyone wants something different, don’t they? Right now, for me, I think a condo might be perfect. Because of my job I’m out until late-thirty quite often. I’m not married and I don’t have kids. I would miss not being able to grow a garden but I can get used to the farmer’s market.

Anyway, now I’m really motivated to get my house into shape to put on the market and look at buying a new place even if it isn’t one of these condos.
